👁️ Behaviour Observation Module
Behaviour never lies. Learn to recognise intention, risk, and danger through the way people move, watch, react and interact with their environment.
1️⃣ What is Behaviour Observation?
Behaviour observation is the ability to recognise intention through movement, posture, energy and reactions.
Behaviour is the truth beneath the surface — people reveal themselves through patterns.
You learn to identify:
- Relaxed vs. agitated people
- Focused vs. distracted individuals
- Predictable vs. unpredictable movement
- People who are scanning or hunting
2️⃣ Baseline vs. Deviation
Every environment has a baseline — normal behaviour for that setting.
Baseline (safe) examples:- Families walking
- People chatting
- Normal pacing
- Predictable movement
- Pacing with agitation
- Watching specific people repeatedly
- Standing still but scanning aggressively
- Tracking children or isolated individuals
3️⃣ Posture & Movement Indicators
Movement is intention. The body reveals the true signal behind the behaviour.
Normal posture:- Relaxed shoulders
- Natural stride
- Calm breathing
- Rigid stance
- Fast or shallow breathing
- Hands hidden
- Agitated shifting
4️⃣ Social Pattern Recognition
Most people follow social flow. Threats break the flow.
Red flags:- Moving against natural pathways
- Shadowing someone’s movements
- Stopping to watch families/children
- Re-checking your position repeatedly
Intent appears when patterns repeat — even subtly.
5️⃣ Behaviour Clusters
One behaviour alone rarely equals danger — but clusters do.
Examples of danger clusters:- Scanning + pacing + hidden hands
- Shadowing + re-checking + following
- Watching children + hovering + agitation
6️⃣ When Behaviour Becomes Threat
Behaviour becomes a threat when the person:
- Fixates on you or your child
- Closes distance with intent
- Ignores social boundaries
- Shows pre-attack cues
